DAILY SPECTRUM MONDAY. MARCH 11, 1985 PACE 4 In critical but stable condition Transplant patient free of tubes "He enjoyed cold cereal and orange juice this morning and asked for seconds on his danish pastry," she said. The youth had not yet showed signs of his body rejecting the new organ but Gay cautioned that episodes of rejection were to be expected "during this critical post-operative period," the hospital spokesman said. "Tony is being given anti-rejection drugs and his condition is monitored continuously so that ad-ditonal steps can be taken to counter any rejection," Brillinger said. The youth was expected to remain in the hospital for at least three weeks barring major complications.

But he still must live near the hospital for some time. SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) A 16-year-old patient, whose heart transplant signaled a shift in direction for the institution that pioneered the artificial heart, said it was "great" to be free of tubes left from his operation. But Tony Shepard, a Caldwell, Idaho, high school student, remained in critical but stable condition Sunday in the University of Utah Health Sciences Center hospital, a spokesman said. Anne Brillinger said chest and arterial tubes and a catheter were removed from Shepard as his receovery continued on schedule. "When asked how it felt to free of the tubes, Tony gave an 'ok' sign and said, 'It's she said.

Shepard, who suffers from a degenerative heart disease, was given a new heart from a human donor Friday in a five-hour operation. His was the first such operation at the University of Utah, where the world's first permanent artificial heart was implanted in 1982 in Dr. Barney Clark. The Shepard operation was performed by Dr. William Gay who took over the Utah heart program after the departure of Clark's surgeon, Dr.

William DeVries. Gay has changed the emphasis of the program to performing human transplants with plans to use the artificial heart only to keep patients alive while a human donor can be found. Brillinger said doctors planned to help Shepard take his first steps Sunday since his operation and also have him sit up for a time. Polygamist claims his rights violated School district to get rid of asbestos SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) A Salt Lake County school district plans to spend $165,000 to rid six of its schools of dangerous asbestos trapped within the buildings' walls. Although the district has removed all asbestos in buildings that could affect students or staff, the district faces the expensive problem of cleaning up asbestos that remains in areas such as boiler rooms and crawl spaces, said Ross Wentworth, director of the distrit's School Facilities Department.

One of the largest projects is the encapsulation of asbestos discovered last September in a boiler room and tunnel at Libbie Edward Element-aary School, Wentworth said. He estimated that would cost about $105,000 to remove. He said there was concern about asbestos, a carcinogen, in the crawl space because that area has been used as a spook alley during Halloween parties at the school, Wentworth said. He said, however, that air samples taken in the crawl space indicated the asbestos exposure was below the level set for people who work with asbestos. The tunnel has now been sealed off.

The other schools needing aditional work because of asbestos include Madison Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Brockbank Junior High School, Valley Junior High School, and Olympus Junior High School. Child killer's brother denied parole DRAPER UPI The brother of a mass child killer who recently published an article telling parents how to protect their children from molesters has been denied a parole in his own child sex-abuse convictions. The Board of Pardons has denied parole for Douglas Dean Bishop, 24, Hinckley, who is serving four five-years-to-life sentences for sodomy. The board set another parole hearing for October, 1989. Bishop has been housed in the maximum security facility at the Utah State Prison since his conviction in 1984.

His brother, Arthur Gary Bishop, was convicted last year in the sex-related murders of five young boys from 1979 to 1983. He was given five death sentences and awaits his fate in the maximum security section at the prison. Arthur Bishop last week released an article he put together warning parents about people like himself and giving hints about how to protect children against molesters. Bishop, in an accompanying letter, said his efforts were a sincere effort to do something good. But police officers and a parent of one of the victims said it was a manipulative attempt to gain sympathy for himself.

Post Office plans Provo building PROVO (UPI) The U.S. Postal Service says it will spend about $6.9 million to construct a mail processing annex in Provo and renovate the city's main post office building. The annex, employing about 110 postal workers, will process mail for southern Utah and give Provo-area residents another post office. It is scheduled to be open in early 1988. "The new facility is needed to relieve already crowded conditions in the main post office," said service spokeswoman Beverly Burge.

"Mail volume in Provo has grown over the years and studies indicate it will keep growing."

Attorneys for Royston Potter, 31, a fired Murray City policeman, were scheduled to argue Potter's appeal of the dismissal of his lawsuit today in the Denver court. Potter, the husband of three women, was fired Dec. 1, 1982, after an anonymous caller informed Murray officials he practices polygamy.

A self-described fundamentalist Mormon, Potter was excommunicated from the church a few weeks after his dismissal. Potter filed a lawsuit fighting his dismissal on the grounds it violated his First Amendment right to practice religion. But U.S. District Judge Sherman Christensen rejected that argument last year and Potter is appealing the decision. Dennis V.

Haslam, Potter's attorney, refused to comment on the case expect to say the appeal is based on the belief the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution overrides the ban on polygamy in the Utah Constitution. But Utah Deputy Attorney General Paul Tinker said the state's case is backed by a 106-year-old high court decision that says laws prohibiting polygamy do not clash with the U.S. Constitution. "I think it's substantially clear that the present law in this country favors the state's position to the effect that anti-polygamy laws are valid in spite of the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion," the attorney said.

Potter had admitted at a Murray administrative hearing he practiced polygamy, a third-degree felony under Utah law. He also said he would not arrest someone else for the committing the same crime. Allan Larsen, an attorney for the city, said the city argues that "the policeman is obligated to obey the rules of the department, the regulations and ordinances of the city and the law generally around the country." Polygamy is a felony in Utah so the city had a statutory obligation to fire Potter, said Larsen. "I think Judge Christensen's opinion was very thorough and well reasoned and I would certainly be optimistic that the 10th would adopt his reasoning," he said. If Potter should prevail, Larsen said, "it would have some very serious complications on both the social structure of our society," Tinker said.

Regulations and tradition based on the husband-wife relationship, such as joint tax returns, would be thrown into turmoil, he said. -v, h.lu 1 wmmmmmmmm director, will be the keynote speaker at the three-day state convention, winm i opuiiauieu uy me uian noiei-ivioiei Association ana tne Utah Travel Council.

And so far, the school board has been unmoved by appeals to relocate the school. The school relocted to the neighborhood last August after the private Rowland Hall-St. Mark's School acquired Marmalade's old facility for expansion. But Marmalade Executive Director Elyse Clawson said the school existed for five years at the old location without complaint. The school has about 65 high school-age students in four rooms, and another 20 students are enrolled in the school's home study program.

Noting an increase in crime and loitering, the neighbors have started a petition to get rid of the school. "Does it take a rape or molestation of a child to interest or ruffle the feathers of our city fathers or passive Salt Lake Board of Education?" the petition asks. an increase in crime and desecration of Mormon Church property in the neighborhood, a group of Salt Lake City residents is demanding the removal of an alternative school for problem kids. "It's like having a nuclear waste dump," William Hansen told the Salt Lake School Board. "Everyone may agree it's needed, but no one wants it.

Hansen and other residents of the eastside Salt Lake City neighborhood say if the district wants a special school for problem kids, fine, but put it somewhere else. He says the neighbors are "uninterested in bearing the school district's social costs." "It's a selfish viewpoint. But wherever you have that kind of school, you are going to have the things we are experiencing. We just don't want it to be us." Officials of the Salt Lake School NATIONAL SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) The man sentenced to death for the sex-related murders of five boys has written an article because his "perverse, notorious knowledge" of child sexual abuse may help prevent crimes in the future. But police and the father of one of the victims of Arthur Gary Bishop said the killer's motive may be to gain a measure of public sympathy.

Bishop wrote an article on how to prevent child abuse and what to do if it happens for the Salt Lake Tribune's editorial pages Sunday because he said he wanted to "redeem myself to do something positive for society." Bishop said the article, entitled "Child Sexual Abuse," was written at the request of "several parents (who) have asked me how they could protect their youngsters from sexual abuse." He also said a friend encouraged him to write the article, saying he had talent that "could be utilized with an impact that might have been impossible otherwise." "I'm definately not bragging or boasting, nor do I revel in the least in my crimes, but if that statment is true, don't I have some moral obligation to help society if I can?" he wrote. "If my perverse, notorious knowledge can possible prevent some child from being abused, or lessen his trauma if he has been abused, then I have a responsibility to divulge such information." Bishop was convicted a year ago of the murders of five Salt Lake City-area boys. His sentence of death by chemical injection is now under appeal. In a tape-recorded confession played at his trial, Bishop said he took pictures of the naked victims or sexually abused them before the murders. Evidence also showed he molested dozens of other boys before he was caught.

Salt Lake City poke detective Donald Bell, who took Bishop's confession, is skeptical about the killer's motives. The officer released portions of a subsequent interview with Bishop conducted after he was sentenced to death. "I asked Art that same question: 'What can society do to protect its kids from people like you?" Bell said. "And this is the direct quote he gave me: 'Make having sex with kids legal. If it had been legal to have sex with kids, then I would not have had to kill Also skeptical of Bishop's motive is John Cunningham, whose 13-year-old son, Graeme, was Bishop's last victim.

"If he wants to do something positive for society, he should take the (lethal) injection," Cunningham said. Hi Lo Pep 48 26 Albany ciTDOOR Outlet ALL N.F.L. SLUMBER BAGS (5 13 (3 oulu MAHUnALLY 4. 99 Only O. while tkey last hurry supplies limited 1062 East Tabernacle St.
